+.Synopsis \r
+ Write-Log writes a message to a specified log file with the current time stamp. \r
+.DESCRIPTION \r
+ The Write-Log function is designed to add logging capability to other scripts. \r
+ In addition to writing output and/or verbose you can write to a log file for \r
+ later debugging. \r
+.NOTES \r
+ Created by: Jason Wasser @wasserja \r
+ Modified: 11/24/2015 09:30:19 AM \r
+ \r
+ Changelog: \r
+ * Code simplification and clarification - thanks to @juneb_get_help \r
+ * Added documentation. \r
+ * Renamed LogPath parameter to Path to keep it standard - thanks to @JeffHicks \r
+ * Revised the Force switch to work as it should - thanks to @JeffHicks \r
+ \r
+ To Do: \r
+ * Add error handling if trying to create a log file in a inaccessible location. \r
+ * Add ability to write $Message to $Verbose or $Error pipelines to eliminate \r
+ duplicates. \r
+.PARAMETER Message \r
+ Message is the content that you wish to add to the log file. \r
+.PARAMETER Path \r
+ The path to the log file to which you would like to write. By default the function will \r
+ create the path and file if it does not exist. \r
+.PARAMETER Level \r
+ Specify the criticality of the log information being written to the log (i.e. Error, Warning, Informational) \r
+.PARAMETER NoClobber \r
+ Use NoClobber if you do not wish to overwrite an existing file. \r
+.EXAMPLE \r
+ Write-Log -Message 'Log message' \r
+ Writes the message to c:\Logs\PowerShellLog.log. \r
+.EXAMPLE \r
+ Write-Log -Message 'Restarting Server.' -Path c:\Logs\Scriptoutput.log \r
+ Writes the content to the specified log file and creates the path and file specified. \r
+.EXAMPLE \r
+ Write-Log -Message 'Folder does not exist.' -Path c:\Logs\Script.log -Level Error \r
+ Writes the message to the specified log file as an error message, and writes the message to the error pipeline. \r
